now, please add 4x part multitimbral Midi Channel input to the OP-1f and a „mixer“ to route the signals between tape tracks or to fixed tracks, which respectively can then have their own tempo and length….
I’m going to have to buy one of these because I’ve been thinking about it a lot every day and that Tyson fight made me realize I’m getting old and I’ll eventually die. I want to feel the joy of OP-XY before I die.
Looking forward to getting some example patches to mess about with, to see if I can add some support for creating these to digichain, as it already handles OP-Z / OP-1 Field sample chains.
I’m going on a road trip today with my wife at the wheel and I decided to take the OP-1 Field with me and I have to say… it’s not helping the gas lol. Not that the Field is making me wish I had something else but more just reminding me even more how much fun it is to use TEs instruments.
They mentioned they didn’t consider it, but working on the op-z showed them how they could add it to the op-1. By the timing I’m confident that they where already working on the field, so I would guess that while working on implementing it on the field they had it 80% working on op-1 and sad “fuck it, let’s port it back”
I know the op-1 field and the op-xy are out of my price bracket by a long margine. But with fields multiple projects, you could have 4 stereo audio tracks additionally to all the op-xy tracks. + You could control another track over the 4.
If they do a good integration of the 2 over usb with good audio routing… You could produce actually really complex tracks with them.
Only two features I’d want added are are internal bounce, like an internal 8track recorder, that you can then drag the wav across to your comp via usb - like the OP1. Or, usb audio interface streaming out as an 8track. I’d take either or. That would make it a buy for me maybe in another 2 years once the price settles, perhaps Black Friday 2026 lol
i love the encoders on the original z so much! even for dialing in values at high resolution i never had a problem with them. i know some people had encoders that popped out… but i’m talking about when the encoders were fine, working as they should- much more satisfying and quick for me than using the encoders on the op-1f for example. something about being able to turn the z encoders with 1 finger is amazing!
Hmm, I don’t think that would be crossover. It’s like saying adding Overbridge to Digitone is taking from the Digitakt feature set (not the same I know, just using it to illustrate a point). It’s just something these devices should do in 2024. Not sure why they held back on that and can only presume it’s in the pipeline, it’s a steer clear from me until it’s on the table. Watch people sell them once they realise this is a thing
I was searching for similar encoders… And could actually not find good ones that don’t cost the price of a used po for 2 of them. It was eye opening how hard good encoders are
i think that’s one miss on the XY… i guess i get it in that the encoders on the z obviously had problems because tons of people had them popping out. but imagine the XY with those flat encoders with the hardware issues resolved!!!
